      As soon as talks with Saudi fell, this fight was off.

      Once you get thrown around crazy money and get your expectations high, a Wembley fight with 1/3rd the prize does not look attractive anymore. As to why the Saudi talks did not go through, I think Fury got too ambitious and wanted Mayweather type money that simply wasn't there. I think boxing interest is down now compared to pre-pandemic levels and boxers will have to realize that. They need to fight more and be in competitive fights to generate that much money. Fury simply overestimated how much an undisputed match is worth today.

        Walk who around the ring? Fury won every second of every round and then brutally knocked him out.

          Mr.Bagz, Fury invented a whole new combination to end this fight with the uppercut-push combo, it was a thing of beauty. Then Fury went on to become the only man to beat all 3 versions of Chisora - Del Boy, War, and Old. Nash out

            Fury was doing nothing much in that fight until the knock-out.

            Fury's last two fights have not been impressive performances, they have also barely been at World level.

            People complain about the level of Joshua's comeback fight vs Franklin.

            But really Franklin is at the same level as Whyte, and a currently right now 'A higher level fight than Chisora'.

            Fury is the WBC Heavyweight Champion, Joshua is a contender.

            Before Whyte vs Fury, Fury's hardcore fans were apprehensive and celebrated as if it was a mega win.

            Joshua right now beats Whyte more impressively than Fury, and I think there are multiple Heavyweights who would do the same.

            Note: Although Fury's last two performances have not been impressive, it is a trait of Fury's to fight to the level of his opposition. The reason why I don't rate the Chisora win highly, is because 'Fury stated he would fight Chisora head on, but still he did not. And this was a semi-retired, miles out of condition Chisora'.

            Chisora and Whyte were stylistically easy fights for Fury.

            Fighters like Usyk stylistically, is a fight more difficult to gauge 'How each style will look against one another'.

              If you’re referring to me, I suggest some reading comprehension. I was responding to “Ali never avoided a rematch”

                ​​​​​​The draft dodger didn't know his place, dudes an idiot, he's now negotiating with the same promoter to fight a guy for a pittance.

                Usyk's team of chicken farmers are a bunch of amateurs.
                Well, here’s hoping Fury’s fat ass doesn’t snort himself into a coma while Usyk is out “fighting for a pittance”

                  Flubber's back was against the ropes a lot.
                  It was an ok shot that was mostly a grazing blow.
                  The push was emphatic.
                  Whyte is just so useless
                  A perfect representation of the div as a whole.

                  It was not an impressive W

                    Your wisdom and ability to see things mere mortals can't comprehend is once again on display.

                      I have no doubt AJ beats Whyte, but I'm not sure he would end him. Something is off with AJ.
                      It's a very sad HW era we're in.
